Senior IT Cybersecurity Engineer Blue Team

Teneo

The Team

At Teneo, you ll be part of a committed security team helping protect a dynamic, global consulting company. This role offers the opportunity to influence and shape our security posture, contribute to designing and building detection capabilities from the ground up, and work autonomously with support from experienced leadership.

What You ll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain detection logic and rules (SIEM / XDR / log-management) to identify suspected malicious activity, anomalies, or policy violations across network, cloud, endpoint, and identity systems.
• Configure, deploy, and manage security tooling: SIEM / XDR platforms, log management, IDS/IPS/NDR, firewalls, endpoint protection, cloud-security tools, and other security infrastructure.
• Triage and investigate alerts: perform log analysis, correlate events, determine real threats, escalate or respond as needed.
• Perform vulnerability assessments, threat hunting, risk-based tuning of detection rules, and threat modelling for identified CVEs / weaknesses.
• Participate in incident response: containment, mitigation, root-cause analysis, remediation, documentation, lessons-learned, and improvement of detection strategies.
• Automate security operations where possible: develop scripts or workflows (e.g., via Python, PowerShell, Bash, SOAR integrations) to streamline monitoring, alerting, incident handling, and reporting.
• Collaborate with IT, DevOps, and business stakeholders to embed security best practices into system and network architecture, cloud infrastructure, and software deployments.
• Maintain and enforce security policies, standards, access controls, and compliance frameworks (e.g., relevant regulatory or industry standards).
• Produce clear documentation, dashboards, reports, and run-books for detection logic, incidents, and ongoing security operations.

Basic Qualifications

• Several years (e.g., 4 7+) of professional experience in cybersecurity engineering / operations, with hands-on experience in detection, SIEM/XDR, log management, incident response, and security tool administration.
• Strong technical knowledge in network security, cloud security (e.g., AWS, Azure, or similar), endpoint security, identity and access management (IAM), firewall/IDS/IPS, and intrusion detection/prevention.
• Proven ability to author, tune and review detection rules / alerts / log-parsing logic, and to perform advanced log analysis and event correlation.
• Familiarity with scripting or automation (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash), for building detection logic, automating response, or managing security tool configurations.
• Solid understanding of security frameworks, best practices, and threat-detection methodologies.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills able to work independently, but also engage with IT/security stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with cloud-native security environments and multi-cloud deployments.
• Familiarity with SOAR or security automation/orchestration platforms.
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CEH, or other relevant credentials.
• Prior experience in a blue-team / SOC / detection engineering / incident response role.
• Understanding of compliance, regulatory standards, and risk management best practices.
